Woonsocket Comprehensive Treatment Center

Located in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, Woonsocket Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) offers opioid addiction treatment services to adults age 18 and older of all genders.

Our team of dedicated professionals includes physicians, nurses, and counselors who are well-versed in treating opioid addiction. We use medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to help people move from addiction to recovery. MAT is an approach frequently used in methadone clinics, combining the use of medications and counseling to holistically address opioid addiction. It is endorsed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) as an effective treatment method.

Opioid addiction can affect all aspects of a person’s wellness. Not only does it cause adverse physical conditions, but it can also affect a person’s social life and emotional health. At our methadone clinic in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, we use both medication and counseling services to rehabilitate all dimensions of a person’s functioning.

Our treatment center uses methadone as a medication to eliminate reliance on opioids. It is a safe and effective medication and has been included on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines. Methadone is a synthetic opioid agonist that activates the same opioid receptors in the brain as other opioids. It helps to reduce cravings and adverse physical symptoms that normally occur with withdrawal. Staying in treatment helps to reduce the risk of overdose and decreases the chance of contracting HIV or hepatitis C due to drug injecting. It also reduces involvement in criminal activity.

Counseling is an important component of MAT, and we offer options for both individual and group counseling. The benefits of counseling include receiving emotional support and guidance, learning behavioral techniques that can help you avoid opioid use, and gaining motivation to remain in treatment. Group counseling gives you the added benefit of encouragement from others.

At our center, we do our best to help you work toward living a better life. We are committed to the belief that each person has the capability to make significant changes in their life, and we help them in this process. We want people to feel safe and supported, so it is our priority to be professional and courteous to our patients. We encourage honest sharing in counseling sessions because this encourages true healing.
